Shai Linne - A Mighty Fortress lyrics
[Shai Linne - A Mighty Fortress lyrics]
Yeah, a mighty fortress a mighty fortress
Uhh
A mighty Fortress is our God
A Bulwark never failing
Our Helper, He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And, armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side
The Man of God’s own choosing:
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He
The Lord of Hosts His Name
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle
And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo! his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
That word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them, abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still
His Kingdom is forever
His Kingdom is forever
Hallelujah all praise to our God
The mighty fortress
Uhh
A mighty Fortress is our God
A Bulwark never failing
Our Helper, He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And, armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side
The Man of God’s own choosing:
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He
The Lord of Hosts His Name
From age to age the same
And He must win the battle
And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo! his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
That word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them, abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still
His Kingdom is forever
His Kingdom is forever
Hallelujah all praise to our God
The mighty fortress
